SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,207, dated November 13, 1883.

' Application filed April 30, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Annnrnon J. CHAND- LEE, of Fern Bank, Hamilton county, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings, of which the foliowing is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of blind when closed and drawn together. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of blind when dropped. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through line w m, Fig. 1.

'Fig. 4 is a vertical section through line y 3 Fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference 1D. the several drawings indicate the same parts.

' essential part of my invention; second, in

combination with said sectional awning, a device for lifting all said sections, after they are raised and rested, to a higher point close under the first or fixed section. .This device is a slotted holder for the pivot-bolt, on which the sections turn in raising and lowering the awning, and the ordinary roller and cord of a curtain-raiser. In connection with this device, and to work conjointly with it, I make slots in the side of every section except the bottom or shortest section. Through this slot passes the pivot-bolt. The bolt passes through the sideof the bottom section also, but not through a slot.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Figs. 1 and 2, A is the first section, firmly fixed to the frame B at or above the top of the window. a a a are progressivelyshorter sections, slotted, except the bottom one, and pivoted on the bolt. The ends of the bolt are shown in the drawings at G and O. b is the slotted holder affixed to the frame B. eis the slot in said holder.

the side of all sections except the first orfixed section. These hooks serve to engage with c c are hooks on and raise the next upper section when the awning is raised.

In Figs. 3 and 4 n is a double pulley on the ,end of a' shaft extending across the window,

inside. Around the double-grooved pulley D, in one groove, is wrapped the raising-cord g, and the lifting-chain dis wrapped in theother groove andfastened to the pivotbolt at G and passes over the intermediate pulley, f. d is a sustaining-chain attached to the 10p of frame B, under the fixed section, and also by links to all the sections except the first or fixed section.

It will be seen by successively shortening the sections an awning may be made that will sit much closer to the window than if all the sections were of equal length, and that by slotting the sides of every section except the bottom one and by slotting the bolt-holder the whole awning may be lifted to the top of the window, notwithstanding one shortening of the sections.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. In an awning, sections pivoted to the same bolt, which, beginning from the first section, are successively shorter, said sections,

' except the shortest or last, being slotted near .the lower end to receive said bolt, substantially as described.

2. In an awning in which the slotted sections are successively shorter and pivoted to the same bolt, a slotted bolt-holder and a lifting-cord attached to said bolt,substantially as described.

3. In an awning having one fixedsection slotted to receive a pivot-bolt, and adapted to receive the other sections, and other successively shorter movable sections pivoted to said bolt, all of which are slotted to receive said bolt, except the last or shortest, in combination with the slot-ted bolt-holder b, the lifting-chain d, the pulley, f, the double pulley D and its shaft, and the cord g, substantially as described.

The foregoing specification of my invention signed by me this 26th day of April, A. D. 1883.

ADANIBOM J. CHANDLER.
